Yima thanked her father-in-law, but she felt a little embarrassed.
In the past, she had secretly resented her father-in-law for being domineering and refusing to let her, as Winnie’s mother, interfere in her daughter’s important life decisions.
She had also felt that her father-in-law looked down on her siblings. She didn’t like the men they introduced to Winnie, and her father-in-law disliked them as well, even criticizing her for listening to her siblings.
She was caught in the middle. Her older brother would call her a useless mother, saying that he had kindly introduced a boyfriend to his niece but received no appreciation for his efforts.
Now, Yima realized she had been wrong. She shouldn’t have thought that way about her father-in-law.
He had been in the business world for decades. He was a shrewd old fox, and his judgment of people was far better than hers.
Winnie was the only child in the Francoeur family. Everything her father-in-law did was to protect Winnie, the Francoeur Group, and everything belonging to the Francoeur family. Ultimately, it was all for Winnie’s sake.
